IRVINE, Calif. – Hawai'i Pacific University saw over half of its student-athletes honored on Monday as the Pacific West Conference announced the 2017-18 Academic All-PacWest Honor Roll.
 
The Sharks had 126 of their 245 student-athletes recognized by the PacWest for their academic achievements. A record of 1,804 student-athletes were honored among the 17 institutions represented. HPU was seventh among PacWest institutions with student-athletes honored.
 
Student-athletes who achieve at least a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, completed at least two semesters at their institution and participated in regular season competition in a PacWest sponsored sport receive Academic All-PacWest recognition.
 
The Men's Soccer and Baseball teams led the way for the Sharks as each program had 18 student-athletes recognized. Women's Soccer had 16 players honored and Softball 14.
 
The Women's Tennis team had eight of its nine student-athletes qualify for the honor, to rank as the highest percentage of the roster among HPU teams.
 
The HPU numbers do not include student-athletes from Acrobatics and Tumbling, a sport not sponsored by the PacWest.
 
HPU student-athletes posted an overall departmental grade point average of 3.20, marking the fourth straight year of a departmental GPA of greater than 3.10.
